I am getting ready to completely wipe my hard drive on my test machine and complately reload the OS. I am not one of those people that wipes their hard drives all of the time either, I have had this installation of microsoft xp on this particular machine since the time it was shipped to me from Microsoft so i have a lot of OS updates, etc., embedded in my drive. The installation has just gotten sluggish due to all of the testing I do on it. I have almost decided to try VMWare this time around so I can put Linux / Windows on it at the same time.
In doing my research for what all I am going to need to re-install on this box I noticed that PHP5 has a totally new installer built into their software, which makes things really super nice! Here is a Link to Using the Windows Installer for PHP 5.2.x that might be interesting to you should you decide to reinstall PHP on your test box or production server.
